I'm pretty sure the cookie behind the "Welcome Home" says "Happy Autism".. but really, how can one be sure? Also, I read your "[nudgenudge]" [nudgen udge] and laughed at myself.. because my mind can't tell where words stop and new ones start, apparently...

Shouldn't we be happy that everything is spelled correctly? Shouldn't that be enough? For crying out loud, yesterday's post showed a misspelling of "July." JULY!! Whoever is responsible for these baked goods should be proud. At least they can spell.

I'm assuming the last cookie was prepared for Mr. H. B. Hobag, the famous industrial giant and former governor of New Jersey.

eww! how old is that Mickey crash-land cake? the decorations are dusty and the whole side of the cake (and the one next to it) dried out and crumbled off. the display case looks filthy, too. YUCK!

who would shop there? "here, try 6 month old cupcakes. they're to die for. or at least, they may kill you."

plastic armpit-smeller--I wonder if she has "realistic" plastic boobs underneath the modest icing bra, just in case someone wanted her dirty? who knows what else they may have. but since she's flotsam, I'm hoping they're not using sex props as cake decor. like dildos, condoms, etc.

I don't think anyone has done this on this post's comments yet, but can someone tell me what the "wv" means that I've been seeing all over the place? I feel like I'm the odd person out on a very funny joke :)

Alison,"WV" stands for "word verication."You know when you go to post a comment, and you have to type in a "word verication" in order for you post to be posted? You take that word and then define it or use it in a sentence.

My word verication for this post is,"hamshair," so I might write:

wv: hamshair-That hamshair is very shiny and lustrous, but I prefer my porkchops hairless.

Hey, why is the parachute attached to the actual plane? Why bother to crash at all if you don't get to jump out--which is at least 20% of the fun.HOBAG is fine as it is. It HAS to be spelled HO. Otherwise, people'd be going around calling them "who"s for short.("She looks like a who.""A what?""A WHO, that's what!")

See? It would snowball into a whole "Who's on first?" type of mess.Then that old thing would have to be revised to start: "Whores on first."I just don't see it going anywhere, and I think I need an aspirin.

The redeeming quality of the second picture is this:By ignoring the temptations in the window, you can zoom in on the photo, and have fun looking at the things reflected in the glass.I see a Dunkin Donuts across the street, some interesting, bricky architecture, a possible emergency vehicle, fire escapes...*yawn* =^-.-^=

I am baffled by the window displays have have completely disintegrated and yet remain. I could understand maybe a corner or two missing before the baker notices and gets around to it. But #3 is war-torn. How can they ignore that?!

Methinks the Mickey in the plane was once-upon-a-time pulling the banner which has Happy Birthday on it and is now landing on it. Someone probably, in the passing eons (judging from the amount of dust on the cake) moved Mickey and put him on the banner, instead. That makes more sense.

There's a check cashing place next to the Dunkin' Donuts. It's a fine thing to be able to cash one's paycheck then have a choice of donuts or ugly cake to purchase. I'd purchase patriotic donut holes, if I had the choice.

wv:fauta- I fauta bout this a long time-I'm going with the patriotic donut holes.

Before Miss Haversham was left at the alter, she was a sweet young girl. A sweet young girl who's only wish was to have a "Minnie Mouse in a Hot Air Balloon" cake for her birthday. Her dreams dashed, she left the Mickey cake to decay along with the girlish dreams in her heart.

I'm pretty sure I have never wished anyone a "Happy Bridal Shower", but now I know what is the proper thing to say on the day the shower. I wonder if you say this even if you aren't invited. And do you send "Belated Happy Bridal Shower Wishes"?

My favorite bakeries (to stare at the window displays...not partake of the contents) are the ones that have the very old, dust encrusted, faded wedding cakes in the corners of the windows! Now that's appetizing and really makes me want to enter...not.

Sigh now I wanna know what the cake was that epcot is replacing lol. But more than likely my sanity has been spared so I thank you for covering it up. The others disturb me enough especially that barbie cake...

WHAT the bloody ELL!?Where did the armpit-sniffing Bimbo (aka "Barbie") go???This is riDICulous! I don't get it~~~WE are the ones being heartily offended (to tears, I might add) by the ugliness, stupidity, and sheer snickerlarity of these half-baked baked goods. Why would anyone take that away from us? Ah...I get it! It's the baker(s)/wreckorator(s), right?Embarrassed, perhaps? Well, LA. DEE. DA.Whoever created it needs to OWN it. They did the deed and walked away, leaving the things sitting there in plain sight. Once they did that, hey! Up for grabs, I say.But NOOOOOOO!! They gotta get all wah!wah! on us, all "Oooo, don't EMBARRASS me!"Hey-- it's in the frickin' WINDOW. A little too late to be dragging out the PRIDE, dontcha think?=^+.+^=

For the later arrivals who miss the pre-EPCOT hilarity, I wonder if a bot could be constructed to archive CW posts (sounds like a cereal company) and email requested photos to the curious. The bot would be maintained by donations to the Honorary Order of Being A Good Sport (HOBAGS). To maintain plausible deniability, this bot would have no connection to the CW team whatsoever. (Nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say-no-more!)

I completely agree with Craig. Please let me know when and how I can send my donation to HOBAGS. Which should be set up as a not-for-profit. With a head office in beautiful Bermuda. Registered to a numbered company.(For as much as it is doing a great service for humanity, I don't think it would qualify for charitable status.)

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
